GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Version 2, June 1991
Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
Preamble
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to
guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This General Public License applies to most of
the Free Software Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is
covered by the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to
distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the
software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions
translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must make
sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or
modify the software.
Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If the
software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced
by others will not reflect on the original authors' reputations.
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will individually
obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone's free
use or not licensed at all.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow.
GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
1.
This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of
this General Public License. The "Program", below, refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" means either the Program
or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or
translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is
not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been
made by running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
Downloaded from ManualsPrinter.com Manuals
2.
You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and
to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program.
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
3.
You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such
modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
a.
You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
b.
You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be
licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.
c.
If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the
most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else,
saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy
of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on the Program
is not required to print an announcement.)
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably
considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as
separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must
be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who
wrote it.
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to
control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Program.
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a
storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.
4.
You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2
above provided that you also do one of the following:
a.
Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2
above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
b.
Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically
performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections
1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
c.
Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for
noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b
above.)
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all
the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of
the executable. However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or
binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
itself accompanies the executable.
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the
source code from the same place counts as distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with
the object code.
5.
You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify,
sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies,
or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
6.
You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the
Program or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the
Program (or any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying,
distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it.
7.
Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to
copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of
the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License.
8.
If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are
imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the
conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent
obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free
redistribution of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this
License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and the
section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this
section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system, which is implemented by public license practices. Many
people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that
choice.
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.
9.
10.
If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder
who places the Program under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is
permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar
in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any later
version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version published by the Free Software
Downloaded from ManualsPrinter.com Manuals
Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
Foundation.
11.
If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for
permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions
for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing
and reuse of software generally.
NO WARRANTY
12.
BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY
OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE
DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
13.
IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY
AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA
BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it free software which
everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey the exclusion of
warranty; and each file should have at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
1 April 1989
Lexmark International, Inc.
This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may consider it
more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General Public License instead of this
License.
GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Version 2.1, February 1999
Copyright (C) 1991, 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
[This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL. It also counts as the successor of the GNU Library Public License, version 2, hence the version number
2.1.]
Preamble
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public Licenses are intended to
guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.
Downloaded from ManualsPrinter.com Manuals
This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some specially designated software packages--typically libraries--of the Free Software Foundation
and other authors who decide to use it. You can use it too, but we suggest you first think carefully about whether this license or the ordinary General Public
License is the better strategy to use in any particular case, based on the explanations below.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the
freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish); that you receive source code or can get it if you want it; that you can
change the software and use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you are informed that you can do these things.
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender these rights. These restrictions
translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the library or if you modify it.
For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave you. You must make
sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. If you link other code with the library, you must provide complete object files to the recipients, so that
they can relink them with the library after making changes to the library and recompiling it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal permission to copy,
distribute and/or modify the library.
To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that there is no warranty for the free library. Also, if the library is modified by someone else and
passed on, the recipients should know that what they have is not the original version, so that the original author's reputation will not be affected by problems
that might be introduced by others.
Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of any free program. We wish to make sure that a company cannot effectively restrict the
users of a free program by obtaining a restrictive license from a patent holder. Therefore, we insist that any patent license obtained for a version of the library
must be consistent with the full freedom of use specified in this license.
Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the ordinary GNU General Public License. This license, the GNU Lesser General Public License,
applies to certain designated libraries, and is quite different from the ordinary General Public License. We use this license for certain libraries in order to permit
linking those libraries into non-free programs.
When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using a shared library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a combined work, a
derivative of the original library. The ordinary General Public License therefore permits such linking only if the entire combination fits its criteria of freedom. The
Lesser General Public License permits more lax criteria for linking other code with the library.
We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License because it does Less to protect the user's freedom than the ordinary General Public License. It also
provides other free software developers Less of an advantage over competing non-free programs. These disadvantages are the reason we use the ordinary
General Public License for many libraries. However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain special circumstances.
For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it becomes a de-facto standard.
To achieve this, non-free programs must be allowed to use the library. A more frequent case is that a free library does the same job as widely used non-free
libraries. In this case, there is little to gain by limiting the free library to free software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License.
In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free programs enables a greater number of people to use a large body of free software. For
example, permission to use the GNU C Library in non-free programs enables many more people to use the whole GNU operating system, as well as its variant,
the GNU/Linux operating system.
Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is linked with the Library
has the freedom and the wherewithal to run that program using a modified version of the Library.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a "work based on the library"
and a "work that uses the library". The former contains code derived from the library, whereas the latter must be combined with the library in order to run.
GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
This License Agreement applies to any software library or other program which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or other authorized party
saying it may be distributed under the terms of this Lesser General Public License (also called "this License"). Each licensee is addressed as "you".
Downloaded from ManualsPrinter.com Manuals
A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs (which use some of those
functions and data) to form executables.
The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work which has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the Library" means either
the Library or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications
and/or translated straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term "modification".)
"Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means all the source code for
all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the library.
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running a program using the
Library is not restricted, and output from such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Library (independent of the use of the
Library in a tool for writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does and what the program that uses the Library does.
1.
You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously
and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License
and to the absence of any warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the Library.
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
2.
You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and distribute such
modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
a.
The modified work must itself be a software library.
b.
You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
c.
You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.
d.
If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses the facility, other than
as an argument passed when the facility is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that, in the event an application does not
supply such function or table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of its purpose remains meaningful.
(For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the application. Therefore,
Subsection 2d requires that any application-supplied function or table used by this function must be optional: if the application does not supply it,
the square root function must still compute square roots.)
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library, and can be reasonably
considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as
separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Library, the distribution of the whole must
be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who
wrote it.
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to
control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Library.
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of a storage
or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.
3.
You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do this, you must
alter all the notices that refer to this License, so that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2, instead of to this License. (If a
newer version than version 2 of the ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify that version instead if you wish.) Do not
make any other change in these notices.
Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all subsequent copies and
derivative works made from that copy.
This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of the Library into a program that is not a library.
4.
You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1
and 2 above provided that you accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the
terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange.
If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from
the same place satisfies the requirement to distribute the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the
object code.
5.
A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or linked with it, is called
a "work that uses the Library". Such a work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and therefore falls outside the scope of this License.
However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it contains portions of
the Library), rather than a "work that uses the library". The executable is therefore covered by this License. Section 6 states terms for distribution of
such executables.
When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a derivative work of
the Library even though the source code is not. Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be linked without the Library, or if the work is
itself a library. The threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law.
If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline functions (ten lines or less
in length), then the use of the object file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative work. (Executables containing this object code
plus portions of the Library will still fall under Section 6.)
Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6. Any executables
containing that work also fall under Section 6, whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself.
6.
As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a work containing
Downloaded from ManualsPrinter.com Manuals
portions of the Library, and distribute that work under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit modification of the work for the customer's
own use and reverse engineering for debugging such modifications.
You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by this License. You
must supply a copy of this License. If the work during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the copyright notice for the Library among
them, as well as a reference directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one of these things:
a.
Accompany the work with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever changes were used in
the work (which must be distributed under Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked with the Library, with the complete
machine-readable "work that uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the user can modify the Library and then relink to
produce a modified executable containing the modified Library. (It is understood that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the
Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application to use the modified definitions.)
b.
Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run time a copy of the library
already present on the user's computer system, rather than copying library functions into the executable, and (2) will operate properly with a
modified version of the library, if the user installs one, as long as the modified version is interface-compatible with the version that the work was
made with.
c.
Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give the same user the materials specified in Subsection 6a, above, for
a charge no more than the cost of performing this distribution.
d.
If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above specified
materials from the same place.
e.
Verify that the user has already received a copy of these materials or that you have already sent this user a copy.
For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for reproducing the
executable from it. However, as a special exception, the materials to be distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either
source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that
component itself accompanies the executable.
It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally accompany the operating
system. Such a contradiction means you cannot use both them and the Library together in an executable that you distribute.
7.
You may place library facilities that are a work based on the Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library facilities not covered by
this License, and distribute such a combined library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on the Library and of the other library
facilities is otherwise permitted, and provided that you do these two things:
a.
Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work based on the Library, uncombined with any other library facilities. This must be
distributed under the terms of the Sections above.
b.
Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining where to find the
accompanying uncombined form of the same work.
8.
You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy,
modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have
received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
9.
You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Library
or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Library (or any
work based on the Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
the Library or works based on it.
10.
Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy,
distribute, link with or modify the Library subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise
of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
11.
If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are
imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the
conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent
obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution
of the Library by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
refrain entirely from distribution of the Library.
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply, and the
section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this
section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system which is implemented by public license practices. Many
people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that
choice.
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.
12.
If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder
who places the Library under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is
permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
13.
The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the Lesser General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. Each version is given a distinguishing version
number. If the Library specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any later version", you have the option of following the terms
and conditions either of that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Library does not specify a license version
number, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
14.
If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with these, write to the author to
ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make
exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the
sharing and reuse of software generally.
NO WARRANTY
15.
BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY
OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE LIBRARY IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE,
Downloaded from ManualsPrinter.com Manuals
YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
16.
IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY
AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE LIBRARY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING
RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE),
EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries
If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to the public, we recommend making it free software that everyone can
redistribute and change. You can do so by permitting redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively, under the terms of the ordinary General Public
License).
To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library. It is safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey the
exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.

Clearing Jams
Identifying Jams
Clearing Printer Jams
By carefully selecting print media and loading it properly, you should be able to avoid most paper jams. For more information on avoiding paper jams, see
Avoiding Jams. If jams do occur, follow the steps outlined in this section.
To resolve the paper jam messages, you must clear the entire paper path and then press the Select button
to clear the message and resume printing. The
printer prints a new copy of the page that jammed if Jam Recovery is set to On or Auto; however, the Auto setting does not guarantee the page will print.
Identifying Jams
If the printer jams, the appropriate jam message will be displayed on the printer operator panel.
The following illustration shows the path that print media travels through the printer. The path varies depending on the input source (trays, multipurpose
feeder, envelope feeder) and output bins (expander) you are using.
The following table lists the jam messages that can occur and the action necessary to clear the message. The jam message indicates the area where the jam
occurred. However, it is best to clear the entire paper path to ensure you have cleared all possible jams.

to resume printing.
Although there are several places a jam can occur, clearing the paper path is fairly easy depending on the jam message or messages displayed on the
operator panel.
Paper jams can occur in three areas: the front of the printer, inside the printer, and at the rear of the printer. Jams in the front of the printer occur in the input
options or the duplex tray. Jams inside the printer occur in two locations and require the removal of the print cartridge. Jams can also occur at the rear of the
printer or in one of the output options.
NOTE: The following clearing jam instructions may seem out of numerical sequence. However, they have been grouped to help you quickly clear the print
path. To go to a specific jam, see Identifying Jams.

administrative group is bin.
If you have an administrative group on your host, you might want to use that group as the printer drivers administrative group. Non-administrative
users cannot add or remove printer queues.

Decide where to install the printer drivers package.
The printer drivers package can be installed in various arrangements. You can install printer drivers on:
l
Each workstation you want to run printer drivers.
l
One host, while other workstations can NFS mount the printer drivers package files. For help, see NFS mount printer drivers.

Selecting Print Media
Selecting the appropriate print media for the printer helps you avoid printing problems. The following sections contain guidelines for choosing the correct print
media for the printer.
Paper
For the best print quality, use 75 g/m2 (20 lb) xerographic, grain long paper. Try a sample of any paper you are considering using with the printer before
buying large quantities.
When loading paper, note the recommended print side on the paper package, and load paper accordingly. See Loading Standard Trays and Optional Trays or
Loading the Multipurpose Feeder for detailed tray-loading instructions.
Paper Characteristics
The following paper characteristics affect print quality and reliability. We recommend that you follow these guidelines when evaluating new paper stock.
The laser printing process heats paper to high temperatures of 230°C (446°F). For Magnetic Ink Character Recognition (MICR) applications and for non-MICR
applications, use only paper able to withstand these temperatures without discoloring, bleeding, or releasing hazardous emissions. Check with the
manufacturer or vendor to determine whether the paper you have chosen is acceptable for laser printers.
Paper Weight
The printer can automatically feed paper weights from 60 to 176 g/m2 (16 to 47 lb bond) grain long in the integrated and optional 500-sheet trays and paper
weights from 60 to 135 g/m2 (16 to 36 lb bond) grain long in the multipurpose feeder and optional 250-sheet trays. Paper lighter than 60 g/m2 (16 lb) might not be stiff enough to feed properly, causing jams. For best performance, use 75 g/m2 (20 lb bond) grain long paper. When using paper narrower than 182 x 257 mm (7.2 x 10.1 in.), make sure the weight is greater than or equal to 90 g/m2 (24 lb bond).
Unacceptable paper

Transparencies
You can feed transparencies from the standard tray, optional 250- or 500-sheet trays, or the multipurpose feeder. Try a sample of any transparencies you are
considering using with the printer before buying large quantities.
When printing on transparencies:
l
Be sure to set the Paper Type to Transparency from the printer driver to avoid damaging the printer.
l
In Macintosh, be sure to set the Paper Type to Transparency in the Print dialog on the Imaging choice in the Copies & Pages pop-up menu.
l
Use transparencies designed specifically for laser printers. Transparencies must be able to withstand temperatures of 230°C (446°F) without melting, discoloring, offsetting, or releasing hazardous emissions.
l
To prevent print quality problems, avoid getting fingerprints on the transparencies.
l
Before loading transparencies, fan the stack to prevent sheets from sticking together.
Selecting transparencies
The printer can print directly on transparencies designed for use in laser printers. Print quality and durability depend on the transparency used. Always print
samples on the transparencies you are considering before buying large quantities.
The Paper Type setting should be set to Transparency to help prevent jams. Check with the manufacturer or vendor to determine whether your
transparencies are compatible with laser printers that heat transparencies to 230°C (446°F). Use only transparencies that are able to withstand these temperatures without melting, discoloring, offsetting, or releasing hazardous emissions.
Transparencies can be fed automatically from the multipurpose feeder and all standard and optional trays. See Identifying and Linking Output Bins for
information about transparency compatibility with optional output bins.
Be careful when you handle transparencies. Fingerprints on the surface of the transparency cause poor print quality.
Envelopes
You can load up to 10 envelopes in the multipurpose feeder and 85 envelopes in the envelope feeder. Try a sample of any envelopes you are considering
Downloaded from ManualsPrinter.com Manuals
using with the printer before buying large quantities. See Loading the Multipurpose Feeder and Loading the Envelope Feeder for instructions on loading
envelopes.
NOTE: When using the envelope feeder, you may hear a "thumping" noise. This noise is normal; it occurs when trapped air is forced out of the
envelopes before printing.
When printing on envelopes:
l
l
l
To achieve the best possible print quality, use only high-quality envelopes that are designed for use in laser printers.
Set the Paper Size/Type in the Paper menu to MP Feeder, Manual Env, or Env Feeder depending on the source you are using. Set the paper type to
Envelope, and select the correct envelope size from the operator panel, the printer driver, or the Local Printer Setup Utility.
For best performance, use envelopes made from 75 g/m2 (20 lb bond) paper. You can use up to 105 g/m2 (28 lb bond) weight for the multipurpose
feeder or 105 g/m2 (28 lb bond) weight for the envelope feeder as long as the cotton content is 25% or less. Envelopes with 100% cotton content must
not exceed 90 g/m2 (24 lb bond) weight.
l
Use only new, undamaged envelopes.
l
For best performance and to minimize jams, do not use envelopes that:
l
¡
Have excessive curl or twist.
¡
Are stuck together or damaged in any way.
¡
Contain windows, holes, perforations, cutouts or embossing.
¡
Use metal clasps, string ties, or metal folding bars.
¡
Have an interlocking design.
¡
Have postage stamps attached.
¡
Have any exposed adhesive when the flap is in the sealed or closed position.
¡
Have nicked edges or bent corners.
¡
Have rough, cockle, or laid finishes.
Use envelopes that can withstand temperatures of 230°C (446°F) without sealing, excessive curling, wrinkling, or releasing hazardous emissions. If you have any doubts about the envelopes you are considering using, check with the envelope supplier.
l
Load only one size of envelope at a time in the envelope feeder.
l
A combination of high humidity (over 60%) and the high printing temperatures may seal the envelopes.
Labels
The printer can print on many labels designed for use with laser printers. These labels are supplied in letter size, A4 size, and legal size sheets. Label
adhesives, face sheet (printable stock), and topcoats must be able to withstand temperatures of 230°C (446°F) and pressure of 25 pounds per square inch (psi).
Try a sample of any labels you are considering using with the printer before purchasing a large quantity.
After printing approximately 10,000 pages of labels (or each time you replace the print cartridge), complete the following steps to maintain printer feeding
reliability:
1.
Print five sheets of paper.
2.
Wait approximately five seconds.
3.
Print five more sheets of paper.
When printing on labels:
l
Set the Paper Size/Type menu item to Labels in the Paper menu. You can set the Paper Size/Type from the printer operator panel, the printer driver,
or the Local Printer Setup Utility.
l
Feed vinyl labels from the standard tray or the optional 250- or 500-sheet drawers. For vinyl labels, set the Paper Type to Labels, the Labels Texture
to Smooth, and the Label Weight to Heavy, or set the Paper Type to vinyl labels and the texture and weight to Normal.
l
Do not load labels with paper or transparencies in the same source; mixing print media can cause feeding problems and print quality problems.
Downloaded from ManualsPrinter.com Manuals
l
Do not use label sheets with a slick backing material.
l
Use full label sheets. Partial sheets may cause labels to peel off during printing, resulting in a jam. Partial sheets also contaminate the printer and your
cartridge with adhesive, and could void the printer and cartridge warranties.
l
Use labels that can withstand temperatures of 230°C (446°F) without sealing, excessive curling, wrinkling, or releasing hazardous emissions.
l
Do not print within 1 mm (0.04 in.) of the edge of the label, of the perforations, or between die-cuts of the label.
l
Do not use label sheets that have adhesive to the edge of the sheet. Dell recommends zone coating of the adhesive at least 1 mm (0.04 in.) away from
edges. Adhesive material contaminates the printer and could void the warranty.
l
If zone coating of the adhesive is not possible, a 1.6 mm (0.1 in.) strip should be removed on the leading and driver edge, and a non-oozing adhesive
should be used.
l
Remove a 1.6 mm (0.1 in.) strip from the leading edge to prevent labels from peeling inside the printer.
l
Portrait orientation is preferred, especially when printing bar codes.
l
Do not use labels that have exposed adhesive.
Card Stock
Card stock is single ply, and has a large array of properties, such as the moisture content, thickness, and texture, that can significantly affect print quality. See
Supported Print Media for information on the preferred weight and for the grain direction of print media.
Try a sample of any card stock you are considering using with the printer before purchasing a large quantity.
After printing approximately 10,000 pages of card stock (or each time you replace the print cartridge), complete the following steps to maintain printer feeding
reliability:
1.
Print five sheets of paper.
2.
Wait approximately five seconds.
3.
Print five more sheets of paper.
When printing on card stock:
l
Set the Paper Type menu item in the Paper menu to Card Stock from the operator panel, from the printer driver, or in the Local Printer Setup Utility.
l
Be aware that preprinting, perforation, and creasing can significantly affect the print quality and cause print media handling or jamming problems.
l
Avoid using card stock that may release hazardous emissions when heated.
l
l
Do not use preprinted card stock manufactured with chemicals that may contaminate the printer. Preprinting introduces semi-liquid and volatile
components into the printer.
We recommend the use of grain short card stock.
Storing Print Media
Use the following guidelines to avoid paper feeding problems and uneven print quality.
l
Store paper in an environment where the temperature is approximately 21°C (70°F) and the relative humidity is 40%.
l
Store cartons of paper on a pallet or shelf rather than directly on the floor.
l
If you store individual packages of paper out of the original carton, make sure they rest on a flat surface so the edges do not buckle or curl.
l
Do not place anything on top of paper packages.
l
Store paper in its original wrapper until you load it into the printer.

Avoiding Jams
Use appropriate print media (paper, transparencies, labels, and card stock) to help ensure trouble-free printing. See Supported Print Media for more
information.
NOTE: Try a limited sample of any print media you are considering using with the printer before purchasing large quantities.
By selecting the appropriate print media and loading it properly, you can avoid most jams. See Loading Standard Trays and Optional Trays or Loading the
Multipurpose Feeder for detailed tray-loading instructions.
The following hints can help you avoid jams:
l
l
l
l
Use only recommended print media.
Do not overload the print media sources. Make sure the stack height does not exceed the maximum height indicated by the stack line on the labels in
the sources.
Do not load wrinkled, creased, damp, or curled print media.
Flex, fan, and straighten print media before you load it. If jams do occur with print media, try feeding one sheet at a time through the multipurpose
feeder.
l
Do not use print media that you have cut or trimmed yourself.
l
Do not mix print media sizes, weights, or types in the same print media source.
l
Make sure the recommended print side is loaded in the source according to your simplex or duplex needs.
l
Keep print media stored in an acceptable environment. See Storing Print Media.
l
Do not remove trays during a print job.
l
Push all trays in firmly after loading them.
l
l
Make sure the guides in the trays are properly positioned for the size of print media you have loaded. Make sure the guides are not placed too tightly
against the stack of print media.
If a jam occurs, clear the entire media path. See Clearing Jams for more information.

Printing a Network Setup Page
If the printer is attached to a network, print a network setup page on the printer to verify the network connection. This page also provides important
information to configure the printer for network printing.
1.
Make sure the printer is on.
2.
Press the Menu button
3.
Press the Down arrow button
until
appears next to Reports, and then press the Select button
4.
Press the Down arrow button
until
appears next to Network Setup Page, and then press the Select button
on the operator panel.
.
.
NOTE: If an optional print server is installed, Print Net1 Setup appears on the display.
5.
Check the first section on the network setup page, and confirm that Status is "Connected."
If Status is "Not Connected," the LAN drop may not be active, or the network cable may be malfunctioning. Consult a system support person for a
solution, and print another network setup page to verify the printer is connected to the network.
Assigning a Printer IP Address
If the network is using DHCP, an IP address is automatically assigned after connecting the network cable to the printer. The default IP address should be
169.254.x.x.
1.
Look for the address under the "TCP/IP" heading on the network setup page printed in Printing a Network Setup Page.
2.
Go to Verifying the IP Settings, and begin with step 2.
If the network is not using DHCP, then manually assign an IP address to the printer. One of the easiest ways is to use the operator panel:
1.
Press the Menu button
on the operator panel.
2.
Press the Down arrow button
until
appears next to Network/Ports, and then press the Select button
3.
Press the Down arrow button
until
appears next to TCP/IP, and then press the Select button

.
Submitting Selection appears briefly.
10.
Press the Select button
until the printer returns to Ready.
Verifying the IP Settings
1.
Print another network setup page. Look under the "TCP/IP" heading, and make sure the IP address, netmask, and gateway are correct. See Printing a
Network Setup Page if you need help.
2.
Ping the printer, and verify that it responds. At a command prompt on a network computer, type ping followed by the new printer IP address (for
example, 192.168.0.11).
NOTE: On Windows computers, click Start® Programs® Command prompt or Start® Programs® Accessories® Command prompt.
If the printer is active on the network, a reply is sent.
After the TCP/IP settings are assigned and verified, install the printer on each network computer.

Shared Printing
Downloaded from ManualsPrinter.com Manuals
NOTE: If you need to set up your printer in a mixed 32-bit and 64-bit operating system environment, consult your Network Administrator about which
printer driver to use. For more information about printing in a mixed environment, visit support.dell.com.
You can use Microsoft's Point and Print or Peer-to-Peer methods to share a printer on the network with a USB or parallel cable connection. To use one of these
methods, you must first share the printer and then install the shared printer on client computers.
However, if you use one of these Microsoft methods, you will not have all the Dell features, such as the Status Monitor, that are installed with the Drivers and
Utilities CD.
Share the Printer
1.
In Windows XP, click Start®Control Panel®Printers and Other Hardware®Printers and Faxes.
In all others, click Start®Settings®Printers.
2.
Select the printer.
3.
Click File®Sharing.
4.
Click If you understand the security risk but want to share printers without running the wizard, click here.
5.

6.
Select Share this printer, and then type a name in the Shared Name text box.
7.
Click Additional Drivers, and select the operating systems of all network clients printing to this printer.
8.
Click OK.
If you are missing files, you are prompted to insert the server operating system CD.
To check that the printer was successfully shared:
l
Make sure the printer object in the Printers folder shows it is shared. For example, in Windows 2000, a hand is shown underneath the printer icon.
l
Browse My Network Places or Network Neighborhood. Find the host name of the server, and look for the shared name you assigned to the printer.
Now that the printer is shared, you can install the printer on network clients using the point and print method or the peer-to-peer method.
Install the Shared Printer on Client Computers
Point and Print
This method is the best use of system resources. The print server handles driver modifications and print job processing. This lets network clients return to their
programs much faster.
If you use the Point and Print method, a subset of driver information is copied from the print server to the client computer. This is just enough information to
send a print job to the printer.
1.
On the Windows desktop of the client computer, double-click My Network Places or Network Neighborhood.
2.
Locate the host name of the print server computer, and then double-click the host name.
3.
Right-click the shared printer name, and then click Install or Connect.
Wait for the driver information to copy from the print server computer to the client computer, and for a new printer object to be added to the Printers
folder. The time this takes varies, based on network traffic and other factors.
4.
Close My Network Places or Network Neighborhood.
5.
Print a test page to verify print installation.

Linux/UNIX
Local printing is supported on many Linux and UNIX platforms, such as Sun Solaris and Red Hat.
Printer driver packages are available on the Drivers and Utilities CD. All the printer driver packages support local printing using a parallel connection. The driver
package for Sun Solaris supports USB connections to Sun Ray appliances and Sun workstations.
Before Installing
Do the following before you install printer drivers:
1.
Make sure you are logged on with root user authority.
2.
Make sure you have enough disk space available for a complete installation.
3.
Set up an administrative user group.
During the installation of printer drivers, you will be asked if you want to change the administrative user group for printer drivers. The default
administrative group is bin.
If you have an administrative group on your host, you might want to use that group as the printer drivers administrative group. Non-administrative
users cannot add or remove printer queues.
4.
Decide where to install the printer drivers package.
The printer drivers package can be installed in various arrangements. You can install printer drivers on:
l
Each workstation you want to run printer drivers.

GNU LIBRARY GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Version 2, June 1991
Copyright (C) 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
675 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
[This is the first released version of the library GPL. It is numbered 2 because it goes with version 2 of the ordinary GPL.]
Preamble
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public Licenses are intended to
guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.
This license, the Library General Public License, applies to some specially designated Free Software Foundation software, and to any other libraries whose
authors decide to use it. You can use it for your libraries, too.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to
distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the
software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions
translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the library, or if you modify it.
For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave you. You must make
sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. If you link a program with the library, you must provide complete object files to the recipients so that
they can relink them with the library, after making changes to the library and recompiling it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
Our method of protecting your rights has two steps: (1) copyright the library, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute
and/or modify the library.
Also, for each distributor's protection, we want to make certain that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free library. If the library is
modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original version, so that any problems introduced by
others will not reflect on the original authors' reputations.

Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to avoid the danger that companies distributing free software will individually
obtain patent licenses, thus in effect transforming the program into proprietary software. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be
licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the ordinary GNU General Public License, which was designed for utility programs. This license, the
GNU Library General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries. This license is quite different from the ordinary one; be sure to read it in full, and
don't assume that anything in it is the same as in the ordinary license.
The reason we have a separate public license for some libraries is that they blur the distinction we usually make between modifying or adding to a program
and simply using it. Linking a program with a library, without changing the library, is in some sense simply using the library, and is analogous to running a
utility program or application program. However, in a textual and legal sense, the linked executable is a combined work, a derivative of the original library, and
the ordinary General Public License treats it as such.
Because of this blurred distinction, using the ordinary General Public License for libraries did not effectively promote software sharing, because most
developers did not use the libraries. We concluded that weaker conditions might promote sharing better.
However, unrestricted linking of non-free programs would deprive the users of those programs of all benefit from the free status of the libraries themselves.
This Library General Public License is intended to permit developers of non-free programs to use free libraries, while preserving your freedom as a user of such
programs to change the free libraries that are incorporated in them. (We have not seen how to achieve this as regards changes in header files, but we have
achieved it as regards changes in the actual functions of the Library.) The hope is that this will lead to faster development of free libraries.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a "work based on the library"
and a "work that uses the library". The former contains code derived from the library, while the latter only works together with the library. Note that it is
possible for a library to be covered by the ordinary General Public License rather than by this special one.
GNU LIBRARY GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
This License Agreement applies to any software library which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or other authorized party saying it may be
distributed under the terms of this Library General Public License (also called "this License"). Each licensee is addressed as "you".
A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs (which use some of those
functions and data) to form executables.
The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work which has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the Library" means either
the Library or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications
and/or translated straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term "modification".)
"Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means all the source code for
all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the library.
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running a program using the
Library is not restricted, and output from such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Library (independent of the use of the
Library in a tool for writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does and what the program that uses the Library does.
1.
You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously
and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License
and to the absence of any warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the Library.
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
2.
You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and distribute such
modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
a.
The modified work must itself be a software library.
b.
You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
c.
You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.
d.
If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses the facility, other than
as an argument passed when the facility is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that, in the event an application does not
supply such function or table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of its purpose remains meaningful.
(For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the application. Therefore,
Subsection 2d requires that any application-supplied function or table used by this function must be optional: if the application does not supply it,
the square root function must still compute square roots.)
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library, and can be reasonably
Downloaded from ManualsPrinter.com Manuals
considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as
separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Library, the distribution of the whole must
be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who
wrote it.
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to
control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Library.
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of a storage
or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.
3.
You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do this, you must
alter all the notices that refer to this License, so that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2, instead of to this License. (If a
newer version than version 2 of the ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify that version instead if you wish.) Do not
make any other change in these notices.
Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all subsequent copies and
derivative works made from that copy.
This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of the Library into a program that is not a library.
4.
You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1
and 2 above provided that you accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the
terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange.
If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from
the same place satisfies the requirement to distribute the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the
object code.
5.
A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or linked with it, is called
a "work that uses the Library". Such a work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and therefore falls outside the scope of this License.
However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it contains portions of
the Library), rather than a "work that uses the library". The executable is therefore covered by this License. Section 6 states terms for distribution of
such executables.
When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a derivative work of
the Library even though the source code is not. Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be linked without the Library, or if the work is
itself a library. The threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law.
If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline functions (ten lines or less
in length), then the use of the object file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative work. (Executables containing this object code
plus portions of the Library will still fall under Section 6. Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may distribute the object code for the
work under the terms of Section 6. Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6, whether or not they are linked directly with the
Library itself.
6.
As an exception to the Sections above, you may also compile or link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a work containing
portions of the Library, and distribute that work under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit modification of the work for the customer's
own use and reverse engineering for debugging such modifications.
You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by this License. You
must supply a copy of this License. If the work during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the copyright notice for the Library among
them, as well as a reference directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one of these things:
a.
Accompany the work with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever changes were used in
the work (which must be distributed under Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked with the Library, with the complete
machine-readable "work that uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the user can modify the Library and then relink to
produce a modified executable containing the modified Library. (It is understood that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the
Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application to use the modified definitions.)
b.
Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give the same user the materials specified in Subsection 6a, above, for
a charge no more than the cost of performing this distribution.
c.
If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above specified
materials from the same place.
d.
Verify that the user has already received a copy of these materials or that you have already sent this user a copy.
For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for reproducing the
executable from it. However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source
or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
itself accompanies the executable.
It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally accompany the operating
system. Such a contradiction means you cannot use both them and the Library together in an executable that you distribute.
7.
You may place library facilities that are a work based on the Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library facilities not covered by
this License, and distribute such a combined library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on the Library and of the other library
facilities is otherwise permitted, and provided that you do these two things:
a.
Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work based on the Library, uncombined with any other library facilities. This must be
distributed under the terms of the Sections above.
b.
Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining where to find the
accompanying uncombined form of the same work.
8.
You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy,
modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have
received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
9.
You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Library
or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Library (or any
work based on the Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
the Library or works based on it.

10.
Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy,
distribute, link with or modify the Library subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise
of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License.
11.
If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are
imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the
conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent
obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution
of the Library by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
refrain entirely from distribution of the Library.
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply, and the
section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this
section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system which is implemented by public license practices. Many
people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that
choice.
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.
12.
If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder
who places the Library under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is
permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
13.
The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the Library General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any later version",
you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the
Library does not specify a license version number, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
14.
If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with these, write to the author to
ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make
exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the
sharing and reuse of software generally.
NO WARRANTY
15.
BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY
OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE LIBRARY IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE,
YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
16.
IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY
AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE LIBRARY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING
RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE),
EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Appendix: How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries
If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to the public, we recommend making it free software that everyone can
redistribute and change. You can do so by permitting redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively, under the terms of the ordinary General Public
License).
To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library. It is safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey the
exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
<one line to give the library's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU Library General Public License as published by the Free
Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
This library is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU Library General Public License for more details.
You should have received a copy of the GNU Library General Public License along with this library; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc., 675
Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA.
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the library, if necessary. Here is a
sample; alter the names:
Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the library `Frob' (a library for tweaking knobs) written by James Random Hacker.

This chapter covers information about sending a job to print, printing confidential jobs, canceling a print job, printing a menu settings page, a font list, and a
directory list. This chapter also provides information on printing folio and statement size media. For tips on paper jam prevention and print media storage, see
Avoiding Jams or Storing Print Media.
Sending a Job to Print
A printer driver is software that lets your computer communicate with the printer. When you choose Print from a software application, a window representing
the printer driver opens. You can then select the appropriate settings for the specific job you are sending to the printer. Print settings selected from the driver
override the default settings selected from the printer operator panel.
You may need to click Properties or Setup from the initial Print dialog to see all of the available printer settings you can change. If you are not familiar with a
feature in the printer driver window, open the online Help for more information.
To support all the printer features, use the custom printer drivers supplied with the printer.
To print a job from a typical Windows application:
4.
With your document open, click File® Print.
5.
Select the correct printer in the dialog.
6.
Click Preferences, Properties, Options, or Setup to customize your print settings, and then click OK.
7.
Click OK or Print to send the job to the selected printer.

Printing Confidential and Held Jobs
The term held job refers to any type of print job that can be initiated by the user at the printer. This includes a confidential job, a verify print job, a reserve print
job, a repeat print job, a bookmark, or a profile. When sending a job to the printer, you can specify in the driver that you want the printer to hold the job in
memory. Once your job is stored in printer memory, go to the printer, and use the printer operator panel to specify what you want to do with your print job.
All confidential and held jobs have a user name associated with them. To access confidential or held jobs, you must first select the type of job (confidential or
held), and then select your user name from the user name list. Once you select your user name, you can print all your confidential jobs or select an individual
print job. You can then choose the number of copies for the print job, or you can delete the print job.
Printing a Confidential Job
When you send a confidential job to the printer, you must enter a personal identification number (PIN) from the driver. The PIN must be four digits using the
numbers 0–9. The job is held in printer memory until you enter the same four-digit PIN from the operator panel and choose to print or delete the job. This
ensures the job does not print until you are there to retrieve it. No one else using the printer can print the job without the PIN.

Printing and Deleting Held jobs
Held jobs (Verify Print, Reserve Print, or Repeat Print) are printed or deleted from the printer operator panel and do not require a PIN number.
Verify Print
If you send a Verify Print job, the printer prints one copy and holds the remaining copies you requested in printer memory. Use Verify Print to examine the first
copy to see if it is satisfactory before printing the remaining copies. Once all copies are printed, the Verify Print job is automatically deleted from printer
memory.
Reserve Print
If you send a Reserve Print job, the printer does not print the job immediately. It stores the job in memory so you can print the job later. The job is held in
memory until you delete it from the Held Jobs menu. Reserve Print jobs may be deleted if the printer requires extra memory to process additional held jobs.
Repeat Print
If you send a Repeat Print job, the printer prints all requested copies of the job and stores the job in memory so you can print additional copies later. You can
print additional copies as long as the job remains stored in memory.
NOTE: Repeat Print jobs are automatically deleted from printer memory when the printer requires extra memory to process additional held jobs.

Linking Trays
Tray linking enables the automatic linking feature for trays when you load the same size and type of print media in multiple sources. The printer automatically
links the trays; when one tray is empty, print media feeds from the next linked tray.
Downloaded from ManualsPrinter.com Manuals
For example, if you have the same size and type of print media loaded in tray 2 and tray 4, the printer selects print media from tray 2 until it becomes empty,
and then the printer automatically feeds print media from the next linked tray — tray 4.
By linking all trays (standard and optional), you effectively create a single source with a capacity of up to 2,600 sheets.
Make sure you load the same size and type of print media in each tray in order to link the trays. Set the paper size and type for each tray.
To set the paper type or size:
1.
Press the Menu button
on the operator panel.
2.
Press the Down arrow button
until
appears next to Paper Menu, and then press the Select button
3.
Press the Down arrow button
until
appears next to Paper Size/Type, and then press the Select button
4.
Press the Down arrow button
until
appears next to Tray <x> Size/Type, and then press the Select button
5.
Press the Down arrow button
until
appears next to the paper size you loaded, and then press the Select button
6.
Press the Down arrow button

7.
Press the Down arrow button
until
appears next to the paper type you loaded, and then press the Select button
.
.
.
.
.
.
The printer returns to Ready.
To disable tray linking, set the Paper Type to a unique value in each one of the trays. If all the trays do not have the same type of print media when they are
linked, you could mistakenly print a job on the wrong paper type.
Identifying and Linking Output Bins
There is one standard output bin that holds 250 sheets. If you need additional output capacity, you can install up to three optional output expanders.
If you have multiple output bins, you can link them into a single output source. Linking output bins lets the printer automatically switch output to the next
available bin.
Output bins available
The following table provides information on standard and optional output bin capability and connectivity.
NOTE: Not all output bins support every paper and envelope size.

Linking output bins
Linking output bins lets you create a single output source so the printer can automatically switch output to the next available bin. You can also set the output
type for media such as card stock or envelope sizes that cannot be sent to an optional output bin. For more information on the values available to configure
your output bins, see Understanding the Operator Panel Menus.

Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) is any signal or emission, radiated in free space or conducted along power or signal leads, that endangers the functioning
of a radio navigation or other safety service or seriously degrades, obstructs, or repeatedly interrupts a licensed radio communications service. Radio
communications services include but are not limited to AM/FM commercial broadcast, television, cellular services, radar, air-traffic control, pager, and Personal
Communication Services (PCS). These licensed services, along with unintentional radiators such as digital devices, contribute to the electromagnetic
environment.
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) is the ability of items of electronic equipment to function properly together in the electronic environment. While this device
has been designed and determined to be compliant with regulatory agency limits for EMI, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause interference with radio communications services, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, you
are encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
l
Reorient the receiving antenna.
l
Relocate the device with respect to the receiver.
l
Move the device away from the receiver.
l
Plug the device into a different outlet so that the device and the receiver are on different branch circuits.
If necessary, consult a Dell Technical Support representative or an experienced radio/television technician for additional suggestions.
Dell™ devices are designed, tested, and classified for their intended electromagnetic environment. These electromagnetic environment classifications generally refer to the following harmonized definitions:
l
Class A is typically for business or industrial environments.
l
Class B is typically for residential environments.
Information Technology Equipment (ITE), including devices, expansion cards, printers, input/output (I/O) devices, monitors, and so on, that are integrated into

Understanding Printer Messages
The printer displays three types of messages: status messages, attendance messages, and service messages. Status messages provide information about
the current state of the printer. They require no action on your part. Attendance messages alert you to printer problems that require your intervention. Service
messages also alert you to problems that require intervention. However, the printer will stop printing, and the errors are non-recoverable. It may be possible
to power the printer off and back on to temporarily recover from the service message error condition. For more information about printer messages, see
Understanding the Operator Panel Messages.
Checking an Unresponsive Printer
If the printer is not responding, first make sure:
l
The power cord is plugged into the printer and a properly grounded electrical outlet.

Configuring the Optional Wireless Card (Windows)
Configuration Overview
After the internal wireless print server has been installed in a printer, there are two ways the print server can be configured for use on a wireless network:
Configuring the print server using the Wireless Setup Utility, or by manual configuration.
Configuring the print server using the Wireless Setup Utility involves connecting the printer in which the internal wireless print server has been installed to a
computer by USB cable and launching the Drivers and Utilities CD. The Wireless Setup Utility then provides both a Wizard mode and an Advanced mode of
operation. The Wizard mode steps the user through the configuration process. The Advanced mode provides an interface through which the user can directly
enter and apply the appropriate wireless configuration settings for the wireless network that the printer will be used on.
Manual configuration is intended for advanced users and involves communicating with the print server over an Ad-Hoc wireless connection without the use of
the Wireless Setup Utility or a direct USB connection. Users who prefer to perform the manual configuration method require an in-depth understanding of the
wireless settings for the network. For instructions on manually configuring the internal wireless print server, see Manual configuration.
Before configuring the wireless print server, make sure your printer has been set up correctly:
l
The internal wireless print server option card has been installed correctly in the printer.
